One of the key benefits of hydroponic farming is the
fact that it uses only those nutrients that the plant needs to grow. It
minimises water wastage and ensures that water is applied directly to the
roots. Further, this system ensures minimum fertiliser wastage. It also cuts
out the risk of weeds, pests and diseases, particularly those associated with
soil.

With hydroponic farming, out of season crops can also
be grown, since cultivation is done in controlled environment in greenhouses.

In India too cultiver are using the technique of
hydrophonics for profitable agri business of exotic vegetables in organic
culture in a huge commercial way.
